Song Yushu turned around and saw that it was Guo Linyu, who had had an unpleasant argument with him.
He looked at Song Yushu with a smile on his face, "Sir Song, you are finally here. Last time, I accidentally bumped into you and always wanted to find an opportunity to apologize, but unfortunately, you were busy with official duties, so I had to wait until today to come and apologize to you!"
There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. Song Yushu stared at Guo Linyu, calm and composed, without saying a word. He kept watching Guo Linyu until he felt uneasy in his heart, and then gradually became a little irritable.
"Song, Da, Ren..." Guo Linyu gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words, his face twitching a little.
How dare you bump into someone when you're such a bad actor? Song Yushu suddenly cracked a smile and patted Guo Linyu on the shoulder. "It's okay if you don't let go. I don't take it to heart."
Guo Linyu was barely over thirty, yet a young man like Song Yushu, who was already a young man, patted him on the shoulder! Sparks were about to flash in his eyes, and his hands clenched into fists. He took a deep breath before forcing out an awkward smile, "Haha, Lord Song is so broad-minded. I'm ashamed of myself."
"It's okay. You are old. If you make a mistake accidentally, how can I really hold it against you?" Song Yushu continued to add fuel to the fire. She could even see Guo Linyu's hair standing up.
But the strange thing was, even though Guo Linyu was so angry, he didn't leave. Instead, he forced an ugly smile and said, "There are a few adults inside. Let's go in and talk first."
Song Yushu narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly, "Okay."
After entering the pavilion in the yard, Song Yushu looked around and felt something was amiss, but Guo Linyu kept interrupting him, introducing one official after another.
When Song Yushu was chatting with one of the officials, she suddenly had an idea and she knew what was wrong!
The officials invited by Prince Yu, whom Song Yushu and Lu Zhixing had already investigated, were all upright officials who were unwilling to align themselves with any faction.
Originally, Song Yushu wanted to write to these officials to advise them not to come to the banquet, but the reason why Prince Yu held the banquet was to entertain the prince of the Kingdom of Boro. If any officials were invited, they would have to come.
This is the etiquette of Dayanchao.
This was also one of the important reasons why Song Yushu and Lu Zhixing had to come to Prince Yu's mansion for the banquet.
But now Song Yushu discovered that not only were there upright officials who were unwilling to join the party, but even all the high-ranking officials had been invited by Lu Zhichen.
Perhaps because he had invited everyone, these officials came without any precautions. Unless Prince Yu wanted to rebel, he could not do anything to these people.
But Song Yushu had a bad feeling. He was afraid that Lu Zhichen really had...
"So this is Lord Song Yushu. It's true that seeing is believing." A deputy governor glanced up and down at Song Yushu, his eyes full of contempt and disdain.
Song Yushu is just a eunuch, yet he and King Jing spread such news, causing chaos in the court, and now he even appeared at a banquet to meet foreign princes! He truly has no shame!
As soon as he said this, there were bursts of mocking voices in the pavilion. Except for a few generals, everyone else's eyes were full of contempt.
Song Yushu glanced at Guo Linyu, who was standing beside her with a smug look on his face, then glanced at the Deputy Governor, his smile still on his face. "Thank you, Deputy Governor Liang, for the compliment. What have I done to deserve such praise from you, my Lord?"
"I am no match for you, sir. Even with the tigress watching over me so strictly, I still manage to keep three or five concubines. I admire you."
Deputy Governor Liang's contempt immediately froze on his face. There were regulations for officials in the Dayan Dynasty that they were not allowed to keep concubines outside. Even concubines in the mansion had regulations and they were not allowed to marry in at will.
"You, what nonsense are you talking about?" Deputy Commander Liang pointed at Song Yushu and jumped up in anger. This eunuch actually exposed his shortcomings in front of everyone!
Seeing Deputy Governor Liang's reaction, Song Yushu looked around at everyone and covered his mouth. "Sorry, sorry, this is a common problem of our censor. Deputy Governor Liang, please don't blame me. I'm sure no one heard it."
He spoke so loudly that everyone in the courtyard could hear him! Deputy Governor Liang's face turned pale. He pointed at Song Yushu and wanted to scold him, but he didn't dare to. After all, Song Yushu was an imperial censor, and it was his job to collect the secrets of the court officials.
Guo Linyu cursed him in his heart as a loser and quickly stepped forward to help. "Sir Song, Sir Liang, today is a banquet hosted by His Royal Highness Prince Yu. It's not nice to joke around like that. Let's sit down first."
Song Yushu smiled at Deputy Governor Liang, and even extended his hand to invite him to sit down first, and then he sat down leisurely.
After this incident, no matter how much the people present disliked Song Yushu, they didn't dare to offend him easily.
No one knew how many secrets the censor had in his hands, and if Song Yushu got angry, he would reveal them all at once. Not only would he be embarrassed, he might even lose his job!
At this time, there was a commotion outside the courtyard. Everyone looked over there and saw that Lu Zhichen and the prince of Boro Kingdom had walked in.
The prince of Boro Kingdom looked like he was from a remote small country. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes. His hair was light-colored with a hint of gold, and his eyes were a light green. He was very handsome, but he was very big. Lu Zhichen only reached his shoulders.
While the two men were talking, there was a short Borneo man acting as an interpreter.
A breeze blew over, and Song Yushu only heard a few words spoken by the prince of Boro Kingdom. It sounded very much like English. After translating it, Song Yushu could be sure that it was English.
Just when Lu Zhichen was inviting the prince of Boro to take a seat, a servant came to report that King Jing had arrived.
The corner of Lu Zhichen's mouth twitched slightly. This Lu Zhixing was still putting on airs at this time. Fine! He would let him do whatever he wanted!
"I'm sorry, Prince Banner, he is my younger brother, and he doesn't even give face to our father on weekdays." Lu Zhichen chuckled twice, like an older brother who was helpless towards his younger brother.
The translator immediately translated it for Prince Banna, who immediately stretched his neck out of curiosity to look towards the gate of the courtyard.
The Kingdom of Boro and the Dayan Dynasty have close relations, and he has heard of Lu Zhixing's name.
"His Royal Highness Prince Jing has arrived—"
Lu Zhixing walked in with the support of Song Chun. Today he was not wearing court robes, but a very eye-catching lake blue brocade robe with exquisite patterns embroidered with silver threads, which shimmered as Lu Zhixing walked.
He tied his hair up high, revealing his exquisite face. Even with a blue ribbon tied between his eyes, one could still imagine how delicate the eyes underneath were.
The Prince of Banna even stood up and exclaimed in surprise. Even Song Yushu, who was sitting so far away, heard it.
“Perfect!”
